Question:
Hey there,
I'm in the market for a new AMP... I had a Trace Elliott which recently kicked the bucket so to speak, but now I'm looking for something which will be good for my two acc. elec. guitars, and my elec. guitar as far as sound/tone goes. What are your suggestions? It will be used for performances in churches. I'd like it to be compatiable with the wireless hook up that I have as well.
Thanks,
Kathy

Answer:
Price range?
Music style?
Answer:
I play mostly praise and worship, I'm really not a hard core type person...uhm... price range... I don't think I want to go too much over $300 right now, definatly no more than $400.
Answer:
and if I read it right, you want it to be for your acoustic electric guitars and your electric guitar, right?
Answer:
Generally, electric amps don't sound good w/ acoustics, and acoustic amps don't sound good w/ electrics....

Answer:
try a fender blues jr. $400. awesome little amp. great amp for church stuff too. only 15 watts, so you can give it some decent volume too.
Answer:
You can find a used Peavey Classic 30 for 300.
Answer:
If you're looking to amplify your electro acoustics, DI is the way to go. Look for an LR Baggs Paracoustic.
As for your guitar, since its secondary, maybe the Roland cube series. I really like them, especially since they do a really good clean JC like clean tone. You could pick up a cube 60 and the Paracoustic for your budget probably. Then you'd have the same setup i'm aiming for.

Yes, that is correct!

Answer:
The only amp I am aware of that can do that even semi-decently is a Revera Sedona. I haven't played one, but they say that channel one is good for electric tones and channel two is for acoustic. But all of them are way out of yoru price range.
Answer:
I think what Nick (Only Alive) said is generally true, because the amplification parameters are so different between the two types of guitars. It would be hard to do it without having two amps and I haven't heard the Rivera Sedona to comment on it. I think that amp is expensive though as jam4christ has mentioned. One alternative is to get a multiefffects pedal like the Digitech GNX3000 or Pod XTL that has acoustic guitar patches (or any other pedal that has these) and run it through the PA or a mic'd amp (with all settings on the amp being flat). That way, you can use your electric guitar at all times and use the acoustic patches when you need an acoustic guitar sound. Either pedal will fit your budget, but the Digitech is cheaper and I can vouch for it.
Answer:
Go with a Roland Cube, dude i have one, that I got for a $100 and it sounds great for electric and has a pretty good clean tone.

How well does it sound with acoustic electrics? You can have a clean tone on an amp, but A/E's generally need acoustic voiced amps which is her dilemma here.
Answer:
Why not go with a moddeling amp which can model electric and acoustic amps?
Answer:
The roland cube has an acoustic sound that is pretty good, so if you got that you could do what hopefull said
